1) NEVER allow yourself to get "boxed in".
2) Keep scanning ahead and in your mirrors.
3) Picture a path away from danger and if you have to go there, look WHERE you want to go, not at what you want to miss.
4) NEVER ride in the center of the lane, if there is oil, it will be there, and it is slick!
5) NEVER ride in the right side of the lane (near the curb) in residential areas. You will be obstructed from view by cars pulling out of driveways, and intersections.
6) On multilane roads, use all of your lane to keep cars from pulling into your lane.
7) Never get into verbal or gesturing contests with people in vehicles that are bigger than you
ALWAYS be alert for folks on their phones or otherwise distracted.
9) Try to carve out some space in your lane by adjusting your speed.
10) Always be as visible as you can be. Headlights on (bright in sunlight). Bright or reflective clothes!
11) Remember that if the sun is low, and you can't see well, others can't see you either.
12) Drive as though every idiot on the road hates you, and is trying to hurt you.
13) ALWAYS trust your senses. If it doesn't feel right, or you think it might be risky, DON'T DO IT!
14) If you see a particular danger, turn off the road and wait for the idiot to be gone
15) Act as though you are invisible.
and last but not least: If you get run off the road, try to survive so that you can go kick the cage drivers A$$!
